Last year life just got too hectic and one of the things that had to go was Fantasy Rugby (those who know me and my addiction with Fantasy NBA Basketball will know what a major effort that was) but this year, at least for a start I'm going to try and get back into it.
So Cones Crusaders are back!
Anyway, I have just been throwing together my squad in time for the S14 kickoff tomorrow and I realized (
after going through EW team lists) that there were a few squads (Aus and SA ones basically) that I didn't have a good handle on who was the first choice kickers.
As you should know goal kickers are well worth having on your team, particularly if they are cheap to buy so this info has some FR value.
Here is my crack at the first and second (and third, fourth etc...) choice kickers for each franchaise, I have just looked at the squads, not the playing 22 for this week, I figure if we can put together a decent list of the kickers in each squad then that info will be helpful when looking at the team for the week to decide who might be kicking the goals as injuries are a big factor in this game:
Crusaders - Carter, Macdonald, Mauger, Mcintyre
Highlanders - Blair, Evans
Chiefs - Hill, Donald, Chricton
Hurricanes - Gopperth, Weepu, Holwell
Blues - Mcalister, Atiga, Ward
Waratahs - Rogers, Hewet, Donnolly, Norton-Knight?, Berne
Reds - Flatley, Huxley, Barnes?
Brumbies - Giteau, Mortlock, Larkham?
Force - Mackay?,
Sharks - Montgomery, Pienaar
Bulls - Hougaard, ??
Stormers - Greef, ??
Cats -
,
Cheetahs - du Toit, ??
OK, that's my lot. Please fill in the gaps, in particular the Force and Cats as there could be some bargains to be had there (although I guess both teams might not get many kicking opportunities!)
Let's get this FR season on a roll and give the Rugbyheads division a foot up on the others.
Cheers, Jules
